I am so excited that we have lots of Two Can Art products that are new in showrooms in Atlanta this July. PaperProducts Design has an expanded Winter Solstice collection, an Arctic Snow Collection and Furry Friends. These include porcelain plates and mugs, trays,kitchen towels, coasters, napkins and sniffs. PaperProducts Design is in Building 2 16th floor 1621.

We also have four new indoor/outdoor pillows out with C&F Enterprises continuing the coastal theme. There is a new sea turtle and clown fish surrounded by colorful coral and flamingos and sandpipers at the beach. C&F Enterprises has done special tags for our products with our logo signature and story. They are printed with one of Noah’s painted textures. I really love them. C & F Enterprises is also in Building 2on the 14th floor 1415.

There are things in the works for the January show so stay tuned for what is coming next.

Arctic Snow is a NEW Collection that Two Can Art has done. The Collection has four different animals, all white against a lush forest of pines with a silver moon. There is a polar bear, a snowy owl, an arctic rabbit and an arctic fox.

PaperProducts design has placed the winter animals on mugs with matching boxes and napkins. They will be in stores this fall and in their showroom in Atlanta in July.

A percentage of sales goes to Parents Helping Parents. They are a wonderful organization that helps families with children and adults with special needs.

This was the most fun groups of images to work on. Everything including the plaid is made from Noah’s painted textures.

The puppy whose name is also Noah is PPD’s owners. His pictures were so cute. I thought he would be adorable with a scarf for fall-winter.
The cat is our really funny cat Harry. He doesn’t miss a meal and often eats the other cats food as well. He will roll on his back in the kitchen when I am making meals, thinking if he is so cute I will accidently drop a tidbit down to him. He thinks he is a dog and loves laying in my lap and getting a stomach rub. He is a rescue cat from our local shelter as are our others. He had to be a part of this group.

The last animal in the group is a squirrel. I have a bird feeder outside my window and love watching the squirrels figure out a way to get in there. They inspired our tartan clad squirrel design.

All of the images are on mugs with matching boxes, plates and napkins. PaperProducts Design is also generously donating a % of sales to Parents Helping Parents, an organization that helps families with children and adults with special needs.

The very popular collection has added 4 new animals and a wider product range.

The new animals are a Brown Owl, a Wolf, a Brown Bear and Horses. The product range include mugs with beautiful matching boxes, coasters, napkins in different sizes, plates and kitchen towels.

There is also a tray that I absolutely love with the original fox, moose, goose and rabbit on it.PaperProducts Design is so wonderful to work with. They are also being incredibly generous and are giving a % of sales to Parents Helping Parents.

This is a great organization that has been a huge help to families in the bay area with children and adults with special needs.

Last but certainly not least in any way is a huge thanks to those of you who have purchased Two Can Art products . We are so grateful and happy to all of you!
So go out there and light it up blue in what ever way you like.

Our pillow samples have arrived! I love these indoor/outdoor coastal designs from C & F Enterprises-Gallerie II. They will be in stores soon. As soon as I get the information I can let you know where they are being carried. We did a photo shoot with Noah with them. He found them delightfully squishy.

I’ve been working on ideas of fun ways for Noah to create painted textures. We’ve
attached rubber bands to a roller and have gotten some really cool effects. It will be fun to work these into images. I am thinking of wrapping raffia around the roller too to see what that looks like.

We have some exciting new projects underway that are still under wraps, but suffice it to say I am really thrilled to be working with companies that make wonderful products. As soon as things go to market I will be posting pictures!
Noah is listening to music sitting next to me as I write this. It’s a beautiful day, so we will be getting out into the warm sun and the smell of new blooms outdoors this afternoon.

It has been a while since there has been activity on the blog. It has been a whirlwind for the past year with the Two Can Art Collection. I’ve created a checklist of things I want to do for the collection and am crossing them off as I go. There is a new signature logo for the brand, new photos with Noah, a new website. www.twocanart.com and we are in the process of trademarking the name.We have developed some wonderful licensing partners for product. Two Can Art images are now on napkins, porcelain tabletop, greeting cards, wall décor, tumblers, garden flags, needlepoint kits and pillows. There are some exciting projects in the works too.

I did a signing in the C&F Enterprises showroom and they had wonderful magnets with our pillow images on them as give aways. The best part was talking to all of the people and letting them know about the collection and Noah’s part.

I loved meeting everyone in the showrooms and seeing other artists with incredible talent.

We’ve had some wonderful press from Art World News, Giftware News and Gifts and Decorative Accessories magazines.

I think the best part of all of this is that the collection is resonating with buyers and their customers and that a good number of our licensing partners are giving back to the autism community by giving a % of sales to autism organizations.

It’s been just a little busy around here lately and all in a very good way. I am so happy. Noah’s beautiful textures continue to inspire me.

I am so excited to be doing a signing at the party that C & F is having in their showroom in Atlanta in January. Featured will be the Two Can Art coastal pillows. I LOVE their showroom. Their products are so beautiful. I feel extremely lucky to be working with the incredible team there

The first time I saw the catalog from PPD I was amazed at the beauty of the images on the products they produce. I am so thrilled to have some of my favorite Two Can Art images in the Winter Solstice Collection. There are four different designs on napkins, mugs with matching boxes and square plates.
Another wonderful thing PPD is doing is donating a % of sales to autism causes. I will be posting links to where they can be purchased as soon as I know.

We started working with Tervis this year and I could not be happier about this partnership. They are an incredible company. I absolutely love how the Two Can Art images look on their tumblers. We’ve done quite a few designs that are already in the line and have many more coming. The best thing about this partnership is that Tervis is giving 5% to autism organizations. They put this on their facebook page to let others know about the Two Can Art story.
